In Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD) tools, vertebra localization and detection are the essential steps for the diagnosis of cervical spine injuries. The accurate localization leads to accurate treatment, which is more challenging in case of poor contrast and noisy radiographs. This paper targets c-spine radiographs for the localization of vertebra using different vertebra templates, vertebra…

The discovery of semantic information from complex signals is a task concerned with connecting humans’ perceptions and/or intentions with the signals content. In the case of audio signals, complex perceptions are appraised in a listener’s mind, that trigger affective responses that may be relevant for well-being and survival. In this paper we are interested in…

The objective of this paper is to investigate the use of the 1-D wavelet analysis to extract several patterns from signals data sets collected from healthy and faulty input-output signals of control systems as a preliminary step in real-time implementation of fault detection diagnosis and isolation strategies. The 1-D wavelet analysis proved that is an…

Economic gains are generally the outcome of industrialization and consequently urbanization. However, positive fiscal index generates a negative impact on natural environment sources heaving pollutant burden on soil, air and water. Industries throw tones of contaminated water into soil and water bodies without proper treatment and create a potential threat for both living and non-living…

The increased motivation (by service providers) to offer user-centric and seamless communication services – that satisfies users’ quality of experience (QoE), has manifested a myriad of challenges in the field of wireless communication; and given the increased traffic capacity and sudden explosion of cellular devices, communication systems are constantly threatened by performance related issues –…

The Cognitive Radio usage has been estimated as non-emergency service with low volume traffic. Present work proposes an infrastructure based Cognitive Radio network and probability of success of CR traffic in licensed band. The Cognitive Radio nodes will form cluster. The cluster nodes will communicate on Industrial, Scientific and Medical band using IPv6 over Low-Power…

Radiation hardened devices are mostly extremely expensive. The continuously downscaling of microelectronic structures and the unavoidable presence of particle radiation on ground and in space leads to unwanted failures in electronic devices. Furthermore it is expected that in the next few years around 8000 new satellites will be launched around the world. Due to the…

Education is the raising of the thinking process and developing the mind in a broader perspective. However, education that is comprehensive and appropriate to the individual according to its potential, ability and skill is too hardest to describe. Thus, matching and referral institutions, including education model that suits the person’s behavior has been receiving attention.…

Interconnection of the power system utilities and grids offers a formidable dispute in front of design engineers. With the interconnections, power system has emerged as a more intricate and nonlinear system. Recent years small signal stability problems have achieved much significance along with the conventional transient constancy problems. Transient stability of the power system can…

The great cards are getting a charge out of a critical part inside the on-line managing wherever we have tendency to can’t check the cardholder up close and personal. The phishing sites may parody the data in the middle of the customer website and along these lines the common webpage. To protect the data and…

This paper proposed an Optical Markup Recognition (OMR) system to be used to detect shaded options of students after MCQ-type examinations. The designed system employed the pixel-based unsupervised classification approach with image pre-processing strategies and compared its efficiencies, in terms of speed and accuracy, with object-based supervised or unsupervised classification OMR systems. Speed and accuracy…

All multimedia devices now incorporate video CODECs that comply with international video coding standards such as H.264 / MPEG4-AVC and the new High Efficiency Video Coding Standard (HEVC), otherwise known as H.265. Although the standard CODECs have been designed to include algorithms with optimal efficiency, a large number of coding parameters can be used to…

In this paper, Constant False Alarm Rate (CFAR) detection of spatially distributed targets embedded in compound Gaussian clutter with Inverse Gamma texture is addressed. By taking into account the fact that clutter parameters are unknown in practical situations, we propose mean level based on Lookup Tables detectors, that operate as a two-step approach, which consists…
